Farhad Moshiri

[toffee matt]

Main concern with Moshiri is that after doing supposed due diligence on the club he has left the Kenwright / Elstone / Barret Baxendale cable in charge.

Why not? The vision was trumpeted in May/June. What went wrong? Who was to blame? All questions that need debating. It wasn't the manager to blame, that's for sure.

I think it needs to be understood that it's very difficult to attract them type of players these days, having a project just isn't enough

I think this is one of the poorest posts I've seen you write Dave.

If the objective was not make loss on his investment he'd never have sold his Arsenal shares to make a much more speculative investment in Everton, a club financially inferior to Arsenal in every way.

He bought into Everton as a growth opportunity but he knew as a result of 18 months of due diligence the investment required to bring that about.

I don't understand the logic of your comment at all.

It's perfectly logical: if/when a new stadium is built here he'll rake in from a sale of the club easily over and above what he would have lost as a large minority shareholder at Arsenal.

It's a deferred pay day.

As said, I dont believe it's his motivation. I think he wants profile first and foremost. But he's not going to lose a single penny from his involvement with us.

Been a frustrating season for some so far but the last 2 ganes have been perfect to bring out the nonsense some have had backed up ready to post

What's this nosense then?

 

[ToffeeTim]

He wasn't even at the game today. He obviously cares deeply.

Probably at the Emirates instead.

What investment? Where?

Why? Do you think Koeman wanted to spend a negative net spend this summer? Buck stops with the head man when windows dont come off....and results like today hammer home why it was so poor.

With a director of football in place Koeman doesn't have much say on the amount of money we're spending.

If we'd gone and put a £30m bid for Sissoko on the last day there was clearly more money than we spent that was available.

That's the key. As his Jim White texts have shown, the man is an egotist and wanted to run a show instead of being behind the scenes at Arsenal. But not by risking money to do so.

If it was there...

Well he did invest his money in a 49% share in Everton Football Club.

Considerable less than the 100m + sky tv money but ok.

Nothing wrong with that I suppose. As long as he does the job.

My point is on the squad side of things: there wont be two financial fronts opening up here for us. We get one and not the other. That's the reality.

Crap positioning for their goal today. Never got near their player or the ball.



Boooo. Mosh out.

 

[Dymak]

When do you think he will start investing money into the club? I hope it's before January because the squad needs a lot of strengthening.

Agree this is about satisfying ego than actual investment. He's the Iranian kenwright.
